In Vivo Model
24 nude mice (3-4 weeks) were acquired from the experimental animal center of southern medical university (GuangZhou, China) and kept under specific pathogen-free conditions. 4 x 106 PC3 cells were implanted subcutaneously into the right armpit regions of each nude mouse. When the tumors volume reached approximately 40 mm3, mice were randomly divided into two groups to receive flubendazole (10 mg/kg, once daily), 5-fluorouracil (30 mg/kg, once daily), their combination, and vehicle control by intraperitoneal injection. After 20 days of treatment, all mice were sacrificed and tumor weight and tumor volume were immediately measured, respectively.

Response regulation Flubendazole is a novel P53 inducer which exerts anti-proliferation and pro-apoptosis effects in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) through hindering the cell cycle and activating the ferroptosis, and indicates that a novel utilization of flubendazole in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of CRPC.
